What, then, has been the unique force underlying all this achievement:

What is it that gave life to that po- tential wealth which lay dormant dur- ing the ages when the Indian dwelt in his wigwam or, clad in a deer-skin or buffalo robe, traveled his footpaths through forests? There is but one answer, education.

From the very beginning education held a prominent place in the thoughts and lives of the colonists, and that interest has continued un- material. The forests, however, were

all rubbing elbows with the utmost joviality. Even the poplar trees lining the edge of the theatre are filled with truant schoolboys, stealing a glimpse of the performance. It is perfectly evident that all Athen turns out to watch the plays.

But the judges are ready with their decision and the whole place become suddenly quiet. Of the three poets contending, Eujhorion wins first place, Sophocles wins second and Euripides third. The whole theatre bursts into applause, but we are very sure, even as in our times, that there are those who "roundly curse the de- cision of the umpire." Jostled and elbowed about we make our way out of the theatre, now lying in the long afternoon shadows of the Acropolis.

As we look over the green fields to- ward the Piraean harbor, and con template, there creeps over us a feel- ing of respect and admiration for the thing we have just seen, so skillfully

How different the picture which presents itself today! The forests have been removed, all to rapidly, and

of the eighteenth and nineteenth cent- ury, and one closely connected with the creation of wealth, is the fact that it was accompanied and followed by a generation of inventors, scientists, efficiency experts and skilled workmen, who have been directly responsible for the conversion of the raw materi- al of the continent into wealth so prodigious as to be well nigh incom- prehensible. And, strange as it may seem, this is so new or novel develop- ment, for as Dr. Howard W. Hag- gard, Professor of Applied Physio- logy at Yale University, says:

"The essential features of the ad- vance of civilization are the acquisi- tion of knowledge and the application of this knowledge. When knowledge is thus utilized for the advancement of civilization more knowledge be- comes available. It is no mere coin- cidence that Hippocrates, who gave medical knowledge the form it held for twenty centuries, lived in the same age as Pericles, Socrates, Plato

It is a noteworthy fact that the Athletic Governing Board lias

chosen the football floodlights for Merrill Field. Such a step marks the most modern feature in Alfred's advancement during the entire history of the school. Large crowds at games are a certainty, every- thing now points toward a banner football revival.

But while these progressive steps—the floodlights, bleachers and fence—are keeping time the modern college era, where is the money coming from to finance these new products? The Athletic Assoeia- ion purchased them; and anyone will admit that the Association's coffers are traditionally far from being full. It appears then that these new expenditures must ultimately fall upon the active support of each and every alumnus and undergraduate who must rally to the spirit of these floodlights, the team and, incidentally, himself. Talk it up. Boost your School all during

¹

the summer and then watch for your results. Alfred has been athletically lethargic long enough and it is only through the active co-operation of its followers that this coma can be permanently cured.

Alfred Glider Club ,_^ Orders Glider

The Alfred Glider Club held its last meeting of the year Tuesday,

•when it elected officers for the com- ing year. Eugene R. Guinter was chosen President-Instructor; Eugene L. Reynolds, Secretary-Treasurer; and Harry Sackett, Manager.

The new organization is now com- posed of fifteen members although its membership may be enlarged to in- clude not more than twenty. The group decided to purchase a new glider and the craft was' ordered to be brought in flying condition to Al- fred by September 15th. It was not definitely decided as to where the flying field would be located although some decision was stated as to the possibility of using the Ag. School field as a convenient ground for trial flights.

The club hopes to aid the school through the publicity and novelty of having this novel feature. Intercol- legiate contests were expressed as a possible club activity, and glider flight experiments were also planned.

GOVERNING BOARD SIGNS CONTRACT i FOR FLOODLIGHTS

The Athletic Governing Board final- ly selected the General Electric Flood- lights to illuminate Merrill Field for night football last week at its last regular meeting of the year. The con- tracts were all duly signed, and prep- arations were begun for the instal- lation of the lights in the coming summer.

In making one of the most progres- sive steps in the history of the school, the Board completed a year's work of conscientious research and inspec- tion. The several companies which been carefully considered and survey- ed in a detailed fashion. The final choice was made only after thorough tests were held which definitely prov- ed that the General Electric product was the best light for Merrill Field.

Each light has a silver reflector and it is wholly enclosed in a brass container. Forty of these will be mounted, four on a pole, along the two sides of the field. The total il- lumination will consist of 52 Kilowatts or 10,000,000 candle-power. The poles upon which they will be erected are cedar wood, fifty-five feet in height.

The Board has also provided port- able bleachers for the east side of the field, which will seat from 1300 to 1500 people. A barbed wire fence of some seven feet in height will- also surround the stadium and Field House. It is hoped by these means that the increased attendance will be provided for with the greatest pos- sible ease.

It is also expected that the new lights will provide an athletic at- traction which will bring the support of this section of Allegany County.

For the past several years the sup- port of this vicinity has been notice- ably lax according to the reports of the Board, and this novel feature should offer a suitable attraction to all football fans within a radius of fifteen or twenty miles. «--
